kylejack, that sucks! Glad the ride was good. Mine was great today. Thought I'd need my facemask (over-nose half-face ski type) but ended up taking it off. Too hot!

Now that I've got a couple months commuting behind me and trust what my folder will do (commuting coincided with folder purchase), I rode the main artery today for the first time for the 4-5 blocks where I had been using the sidewalk. It's a 6-lane road and open enough (when I'm on it in the early a.m) for cars to get some speed up. I was pleased to be quite comfortable on it, as it shaves a little time from the sidewalk ride. Kudos to you road warriors who ride these types of main arteries for long distances! I knew I needed to wait until my competency was up to speed and I was familiar with my new bike. I learn a LOT on this forum!
